How Do You Shoot A Video Using Green Screen?
• Go to your local hardware store and select a few paint swatches in the bright green color area. Some of more effective colors exist in the “kid’s room” paint area. Choose about six different shades of green and take them back home. • Spread the different colored paint swatches out on the floor and without your videos lights, shoot the swatches for around :30 seconds. • Capture the footage and place the green screen filter on the clip (in your favorite editing program). Depending on your editing program, create a layer just below the one you just captured and place a solid black jpg. Adjust the controls until you find which color “keys” out the best. • Go back to your local hardware store and have the paint department create a gallon of the green paint that you chose (satin finish is best). Then go to the floor covering department and purchase the least expensive piece of linoleum they carry. Paint the back of the linoleum with the green paint and when dry, hang it up and shoot away.
